Welcome to the First Annual BOSS Conference & Sourcefire Users Summit!The debate is over. Time and experience have proven open source security (OSS) technology to be both reliable and secure. The use of OSS products has become mainstream, adopted by the largest of enterprises and government agencies around the world.

Welcome to BOSS—the industry’s first IT security conference dedicated to promoting open source security technologies and the commercial products that embrace them. This conference brings together passionate OSS advocates and innovative Sourcefire customers and partners under the same roof to share ideas and experiences.

What better place to launch this exciting new conference than the historic Flamingo Las Vegas! Positioned at the center of the Las Vegas Strip, the Flamingo started it all. Today, the Flamingo features a 77,000 square foot casino, more than 3,600 hotel rooms, and modern conference amenities. And Las Vegas itself provides a fitting venue, reflecting the excitement, innovation and growth of the OSS industry.

We hope you will join us in Las Vegas in February 2009 for this compelling IT security event.

From its inception, the BOSS Conference & Sourcefire Users Summit has been driven to meet the needs of our customers, our partners, and staunch advocates of the open source security community. Although we’ve received tremendous interest and enthusiasm about this event, many have told us their travel budgets have been cut. Thus, Sourcefire has decided to postpone this conference due to global economic uncertainty.
